This report was previously published by BP.
Figures include crude oil, shale oil, oil sands, condensates and NGLs. Liquid fuels from other sources such as biofuels and synthetic derivatives of coal and natural gas are excluded, as well as oil shales/kerogen extracted in solid form.
This statistic was compiled using several releases of the publication.
Figures from 2011 to 2021 were restated based on the latest report.
Since the turn of the century, the production of oil in the European Union has seen a significant decline. In 2000, approximately *** thousand barrels per day were produced, but by 2019 this had fallen to *** thousand barrels per day. Until here, the United Kingdom was the EU’s main oil producing country, followed by Denmark and Italy. Whilst these nations produce significantly less than the UK, all pale in comparison to the oil production of countries such as the United States and Saudi Arabia. In 2023, the EU oil production, excluding the UK, amounted to *** thousand barrels per day.Â
Oil reserves in decline
Much like production, the oil reserves of EU nations have also been in decline. As the North sea’s resources deplete, the UK has seen reserves drop from *** billion barrels worth in 2010 to *** billion barrels by 2020. In comparison, oil reserves in Russia amounted to billion barrels in 2020.
Oil consumption highest in Germany
Of all European Union nations, Germany had the highest level of oil consumption in 2024, at ****Â million barrels per day. This was followed by France and the United Kingdom, with consumptions of approximately *** and *** million barrels per day, respectively.
